Assessment Information
Assessment at Woden
Assessment lies at the heart of the process of promoting children’s learning. It provides a framework within which educational objectives may be set and children’s progress expressed and monitored. This should be done in partnership with the children as they have a shared ownership of their learning, and full understanding of their next steps in learning and how this is supported and enhanced.
Daily assessment is incorporated systematically into teaching strategies in order to diagnose any problems and chart progress in a wide variety of ways, for example through: pupils being clear about what and how they are learning, questioning, marking and verbal feedback.
Our Assessment System at Woden Primary School
Children are expected to be working within their Year Group Band, which has been broken into 3 main development points:
- Entering (ideally by the end of the Autumn term)
- Developing (ideally by the end of the Spring term)
- Secure (ideally by the end of the Summer term)
Once secure, you can then begin to ‘master’ the year group objectives. Where the child is expected to deepen their knowledge and understanding.
